Cherry Drive Elementary School

Picture:

Greetings! Cherry Drive has been my teaching home for almost a decade. 5th grade is a great level to teach. Students are transitioning into young adulthood....although some believe they're in their early twenties, right?! Their reasoning abilities and questions they have about everything help keep me on my toes.

I moved almost every 2 years growing up until my family moved to Las Animas in southeastern Colorado. I spent my first 3 years of school in Japan and then lived in several states including Alaska. I moved to Denver to direct a Childhood Center and then went back to school to get my elementary license.
